About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- robertacZ8814NI0 contributionsVery disappointedComing in late April to see the auroras, we knew it was going to be difficult to see them… but I’m leaving this review because first of all, it is not a northern lights tour. I have done this tour in Europe and the guide takes you to different places to catch the auroras and find the perfect place to see them. Unfortunately this tour gave us no information about the auroras at all ! Antonio just left us at the hot springs and that’s it. Then we took us back to the hotel. We didn’t have a northern lights tour, it was just a drive to the hot springs. The hot springs where so cool but that wasn’t the tour we asked for. Also something that is quite disappointing is that during this time of the year there’s a lot of light in the sky even after 1:00 am, so the chances of seeing the auroras is very very low. The worst of all the experience is that we booked another activity with Antonio for the next day, and he never came to pick us up !! We payed a tour and he never came. He didn’t answered the phone and gave us no response at all.Written April 25, 2024
- Mango L0 contributionsGreat experience!!!The trip was excellent! Professional and helpful tour guide. Hike is about longer than a mile to the castner glacier and the trail is easy and safe. The Castner Glacier is a beautiful spot and great attraction, it’s worth the time to visit it.Written January 13, 2024
- 51saik0 contributionsGreat tour!!Great tour!! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. And inspite of cloudy conditions we managed to see the Northern lights!!Written April 4, 2023
- pba571000 contributionsA scenic drive to discover one Alaska’s gem!A beautiful 2h30 scenic drive from Fairbanks, you park your car on the right after a bridge. On this side, you can see the pipeline. To get to the glacier, you have to cross the road and enter the trail just before the bridge. A 20-30 minutes walk and you reach the glacier. Massive ark made of ice and rocks, you can’t be disappointed. It’s impressive! Worth the trip!Written April 2, 2023
- saikZ6792PL0 contributionsAwesomeWe had a great time!!! Our guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We literally hunted the aurora out of the cloudy sky!! Got lucky!! Would definitely recommend this trip!! :)Written April 1, 2023
- Holly L0 contributionsA natural wonderHad an amazing time hiking to the cave. We were able to inside the cave and see the running river underneath. It was extremely windy. Bundle upWritten April 1, 2023
- 789cindyh0 contributionsVIP tour treats you like VIPGlacier cave tour with Antonio from VIP tours. He brought all the gear. You’re his only clients on the trip. It was an excursion of a lifetime. His patience with me walking in the snow, truly made me feel at ease. Best guide & even stopped when we saw Moose. He also made a pit stop at Santa village in the North Pole to see reindeer. Highly recommended, no need for any other guides in Fairbanks: he offers Chena Hot springs tour and Aurora viewing.Written March 7, 2023
- yuanleih20220 contributionsThe best tour with the best view.It’s been amazing tour. The views stunning in every second and ice cave is so prett. it’s my favorite trip so far and totally worth it. Don’t miss the ice cave. Also, don’t go out there by yourself because it’s dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing. Our tour guide Antonio it’s super chill and relaxing. I really had a lot of fun and I really enjoy this trip. Highly recommend it.Written February 5, 2023
- chaktingt0 contributionsUnhappyAntonio seemed very helpful when we were inquiring about his tours so we went ahead with a booking. But 10 days after we booked him, our tour got cancelled without any explanation. He would not reply to our questions. Then we noticed his pricing became substantially higher. We had to rearrange our whole trip due to this non-responsive cancellation. A trip that we were looking forward to now became something we’re very anxious about.Written January 28, 2023
- O8611AIlaurenk0 contributionsDo it!really great! The auroras were out early so he offered to pick us up early to go see them. We were at the airport having just landed and he actually picked us up from there and then took us to the Airbnb at the end. We were so lucky to see the lights and he offered to take pics and kept the van nice and warm for us to go in and out. Would recommend:)Written December 14, 2022
- 845stilianan0 contributionsTop notch experienceFantastic experience with Mr. Antonio. I've learned so much about the Aurora Lights phenomenon. He definitely is a very knowledgeable young gentleman. Besides all that, he brought us a hot tea and nice cookies. His vehicle is well maintained, very clean and warm inside :). He is a very safe driver as well.Written November 28, 2022
- paulmot0 contributionsWarmhearted guideThe night during our tour was quite cloudy so we just saw a little bit northern lights. However, Antonio is every experienced guide. Besides being professional, he is also warmhearted. He helped haul a car out of snow, and also helped another car jumpstart during our tour. Highly recommend him.Written November 27, 2022
- MarlonSevillaJr0 contributionsVvip experience to this VIP aurora tourThis aurora chasing tour was awesome! We saw the northern lights with the help of our driver/tour guide who knew a lot about fairbanks and the aurora. We felt VVIP and safe all the time considering this is cheaper compared to other tour operators. Will def book this again if in Fairbanks and def recommend this to other aurora seekers! Good luck! Antonio (guide) had prepared hot tea for us, set up a mini lounge with portable heaters while watching the northers ligths. If it got too cold for you, you could go inside the SUV (heater is ON) while watching the lights. Bonus: we ended up around 330am, he did a Mc Donalds drive thru for us. We used a big 4x4 Silverado vehicle. Guide was using an app where we can easily see the northern lights.Written November 11, 2022
- SanjayS3190 contributionsChasing the lights.It was a night with clouds. The guide was fantastic. He picked up cookies and coffee for the experience. Smooth and safe driving. Unfortunately did not see the lights but sighted baby moose. We did the hot springs tour with the same guide and it was fantastic.Written July 31, 2022
